CASPER, Wyo. Governor Mark Gordon has ordered that both United States and Wyoming flags be flown at half staff until sunset on May 30 in honor of the victims of a shooting at a California rail yard on Wednesday.
An employee of the Valley Transportation Authority is suspected of killing eight people at the rail yard in the Bay Area on Wednesday, according to the Associated Press. The gunman is also reportedly dead.
A public transit worker shot dead eight people at a California rail yard Wednesday before turning his gun on himself as police arrived, officials said after the latest mass shooting to hit the United States. Multiple victims were also wounded in the attack at the rail yard in San Jose, just south of San Francisco. One later died at the Santa Clara Valley Medical Center where he had been hospitalised in critical condition, local media reports and a union representing the rail workers said late Wednesday. The attack has once again shone a spotlight on the country s raging gun control debate.
